Justice Breyer responded by saying, among other things, that law emerges from conversations among law practitioners, law students, and academics.

How odd. I thought that law "emerged" from the deliberate, public actions of the elected representatives of the American citizens.

Silly, silly Tax-chick, living in her little fantasy world ...

Great article.
I plan to pick up Mark Levin's new book this weekend. I believe it is called "Men In Black". I heard him on Rush on Wednesday and it really piqued my curiosity. From what I could gather, it deals with the Supremes and how they have gotten into the habit of making law that conforms with their worldview rather than interpreting the Constitution. Based on this article, it sounds like he is very much on the mark.

Justice Scalia began his reply by stating that most of the parts of it should be posed to Justice Breyer, simply because [unlike Breyer] Scalia does not use foreign law in the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution.

Heh-heh...
